Detroit's Eastern Market

I know that others like great graffiti art like I do, but we’re probably in the minority across the population.  Of course, everyone hates bad graffiti, basic “tags” or just people tagging any random building, wall, etc...  But great graffiti is as good as fine art, just on a larger scale in a public location.  So, if you like that type of thing, Detroit’s Eastern Market and Miami’s Wynwood Walls are amazing spots for this.  This photo is from the Eastern Market area of Detroit.  They host an international graffiti festival every year where they feature some of the world’s best.  This specific painting would probably fall into the Pop Culture art category, similar to Peter Max and others who work in this art genre.  Sorry I don’t know the name of the artist who completed this painting.

NYC Public Library

Today’s photo is from our last trip to New York City.  One of our stops on that trip was the Library.  I know, I know.  The Library!!  But look at this architecture.  How could I skip this facility?  It’s a great example of what we, humans, are capable of creating.  If you like this type of thing and get to NYC, make this free location a “must do.”
